.ON JULY 31ST photos of a Russian Mi-8 transportation chopper, collapsed and burning, started distributing on social media. That by itself was not uncommon: Ukrainian powers have actually obliterated ratings of choppers since the Russian invasion started. Much more unusual was actually the case in the Ukrainian press that this chopper had actually been actually downed through a small drone. A video released due to the nation's militaries a handful of times later on seemed to be to provide support to that insurance claim: the video (view below) presents a drone striking another Russian airplane, this moment an Mi-28 assault chopper, reportedly compeling it to make an urgent landing. Was actually these lucky hits-- or signs of a discovery in aerial combat?
